Pretty sure that's the message y'all are being sent by the people who OWN THIS SITE.

I don't like the orange guy with teeny tiny hands either, but it seems the time has finally, thankfully, come for the bickering and name calling to end in regards to politics.

Get over it and talk about climbing, skiing, BASE, hiking, running, riding your freaking bike. Find topics that don't involve politics, and call each other names about those things.

you must be one of them dreamers, kid. :-)

I am sick of TRs getting bumped off by political threads too. same as it ever was.

and the fact that the "why it happened" thread got locked when people were solely dogging on the PE mystifies me.

It's true, I'm a dreamer. 'Kid' is a relative term though.

I'm listening to the press conference by the PEOTUS right now and my blood is about to boil. What am I doing? Getting stoned, not calling someone else names on Supertopo.

You're ok in my book, TBC.

Thanks Brandon. I respect you too.

I do not believe that name-calling between ST users has been a big problem recently. I do believe that political discussion is important and vital to democracy, it is something that naturally occurs between climbing partners.

Way ahead of you, GCF. Living in a small town makes it easier to be involved with what happens, and I am. Small town New Hampshire town meetings are interesting. All the old timers have died now, but in our town the meetings were dually purposed; you voted on measures and were given the floor if you wanted to speak, and, you watched the old timers speak their piece like the true backwoods farmers that they were. And they had pull, as they owned large tracts of land in town, passed down from colonial times.

Eric Holder is building a wall around California to keep us safe

Too bad for the people on the other side
not my problem anymore

the California haters that still live here can climb out and escape to be with the own kind, they just won't be able to return

See. we can talk about climbing!
